Dallas Horsemen Make History with the Appointment of Co-General Managers

In an unprecedented move within the Grass League, the Dallas Horsemen have appointed professional golfers Alexis Miestowski and Marissa Wenzler as co-general managers. This significant decision marks a first in the league's history, as it welcomes women into key leadership roles, aiming to shape the future landscape of women's sports.

Both Miestowski and Wenzler have established themselves as influential figures within the modern golfing community. As founding members of the popular platform ‘Good Good Girls,’ which champions women in golf, their new roles reflect a growing trend in supporting female representation in sports administration. Alongside co-founders Yoonhee Kim and Hadley Walts, they plan to amplify the Horsemen's impact across the league while emphasizing the importance of female leadership in high-stakes competition.

In their new roles, Miestowski and Wenzler will manage all aspects of the franchise, including player recruitment, roster strategies, and tournament pairings, while also serving as the public faces of the Dallas club. Their leadership comes at a time when women's sports are witnessing remarkable growth in both participation and viewership—signaling a shift in how women are perceived and represented in competitive athletics.

“Having Alexis and Marissa at the helm underscores our commitment to inclusivity within the Grass League,” stated Jason Pritchett, Commissioner of the Grass League. “As seen with champions like Gabi Ruffels from the Los Angeles Roses, women can excel here. Now, we have two women not just playing but also driving the franchise's future.”

Both new general managers bring with them impressive competitive backgrounds. Miestowski, originally from Schererville, Indiana, has transitioned successfully through the ranks after competing at Indiana University, later becoming a contender on the Epson Tour. Wenzler, hailing from Dayton, Ohio, completed her illustrious collegiate career at the University of Kentucky before pursuing a professional path in golf.

Their collaboration on the field as teammates in Grass League events also provides a unique perspective on the pressures of high-stakes competition, allowing them to identify critical factors needed to cultivate a winning team culture.

Expressing their excitement, Miestowski and Wenzler stated, “We loved competing for the Horsemen, and now stepping into the front office gives us the opportunity to truly shape our team's identity. The Grass League has demonstrated a clear demand for intense, high-stakes golf, and we are thrilled to lead that charge.”

With a strong vision to build a formidable team, they aim to foster a culture that embodies the league's vibrant energy and competitiveness. Their plans to collect trophies for Dallas certainly reflect their commitment to excellence.

The Dallas Horsemen organization fully supports this transition, highlighting the players' mutual respect and understanding of the game. “Alexis and Marissa know how this format works because they've played it under pressure. Handing them the keys is an excellent move for building a competitive roster that our community can rally around,” remarked the Dallas Horsemen’s Ownership Group.

As women step into these influential roles, it signals a new era within the franchise and further reinforces the principles of equality and opportunity in sports. With Miestowski and Wenzler at the helm, the Grass League is not only changing perceptions but redefining what leadership in sports looks like.

The Grass League’s model is inclusive, allowing male and female players to compete side-by-side under the same rules, making transitions like this all the more important. Jake Hoselton, Co-Founder and CEO of the Grass League, noted, “Bringing Alexis and Marissa into these pivotal roles opens doors for more female talent to join the league, showcasing how competitive spirit can thrive in both athletic and leadership capacities.”

In conclusion, as the Dallas Horsemen position themselves as pioneers in the industry, this new appointment is set to elevate female visibility within sports and usher in a new age of opportunity for aspiring female athletes.
